Project description:Neutrophils and their inflammatory mediators are key pathogenic components in multiple autoimmune diseases, while their role in human type 1 diabetes (T1D), a disease that progresses sequentially through identifiable stages prior to the clinical onset, is not well understood. We previously reported that the number of circulating neutrophils is reduced in patients with T1D and in presymptomatic at-risk subjects. The aim of the present work was to identify possible changes in circulating and pancreas-residing neutrophils throughout the disease course to better elucidate neutrophil involvement in human T1D. Data collected from 389 subjects at risk of developing T1D, and enrolled in 4 distinct studies performed by TrialNet, were analyzed with comprehensive statistical approaches to determine whether the number of circulating neutrophils correlates with pancreas function. To obtain a broad analysis of pancreas-infiltrating neutrophils throughout all disease stages, pancreas sections collected worldwide from 4 different cohorts (i.e., nPOD, DiViD, Siena, and Exeter) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Finally, circulating neutrophils were purified from unrelated nondiabetic subjects and donors at various T1D stages and their transcriptomic signature was determined by RNA sequencing. Here, we show that the decline in β cell function is greatest in individuals with the lowest peripheral neutrophil numbers. Neutrophils infiltrate the pancreas prior to the onset of symptoms and they continue to do so as the disease progresses. Of interest, a fraction of these pancreas-infiltrating neutrophils also extrudes neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), suggesting a tissue-specific pathogenic role. Whole-transcriptome analysis of purified blood neutrophils revealed a unique molecular signature that is distinguished by an overabundance of IFN-associated genes; despite being healthy, said signature is already present in T1D-autoantibody-negative at-risk subjects. These results reveal an unexpected abnormality in neutrophil disposition both in the circulation and in the pancreas of presymptomatic and symptomatic T1D subjects, implying that targeting neutrophils might represent a previously unrecognized therapeutic modality.

Project description:Due to an increasingly aging population, the incidence of dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease are steadily rising, with recent estimates predicting >115million dementia sufferers by 2050. The ability to identify early markers in blood, which appear before the onset of clinical symptoms is of considerable interest to allow early intervention, particularly in “high risk” groups such as those with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Here we present longitudinal genome-wide DNA methylation data comparing 18 elderly individuals with T2D who developed pre-symptomatic dementia within an 18 month period following baseline assessment to 18 age, sex and education matched controls who maintained normal cognitive function. We identified a highly significant overlap in the effect size of the top-ranked methylation sites at baseline and follow-up, and identified 8 robust loci, some of which have been previously related to neurodegenerative processes, which were consistently differentially methylated prior to symptoms at baseline, and at 18 month follow up, when a diagnosis of pre-symptomatic dementia had been provided. Finally we show a significant overlap in the effect size of the top-ranked methylation sites in converters, only after they develop symptoms of pre-symptomatic dementia, with changes at the same loci in blood samples from patients with clinically-diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease.

Project description:Even though the pathological changes, including decreased MNCV and progressive neuroanatomical alterations affecting neuronal structures are relatively well described, molecular mechanisms underlying DPN remain poorly understood. To analyze more extensively the molecular changes leading to the development of the DPN, we performed a gene expression profiling of the sciatic nerve endoneurium and DRGs isolated from pre-symptomatic and early symptomatic DM1 mouse model. These experiments should allow us to determine to which extent the two compartments of the nerve (the DRG composed mostly of neurons and the endoneurium containing mostly Schwann cells) are affected by diabetes, to analyze the possibility of a chronological order in alterations observed in these compartments and to correlate phenotypic changes observed in AkitaIns2/+ mice (a model of diabetes type I) with underlying transcriptional alterations.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease, leading to the destruction of the pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells. Little is known about the involvement of neutrophils that exert multifaceted functions like phagocytosis, degranulation, production of cytokines and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETosis), in the pathogenesis of T1D. Our aim was to gain insight into the proteome of neutrophils undergoing NETosis from patients with long-standing T1D compared to age- and sex-matched healthy controls under both resting and stimulated conditions (phorbol-myristate acetate, PMA, 100nM; ionomycin, 20µM; 3hours) by LC/MS-MS.

Project description:We report the analysis of nasal curettage cells by RNAseq collected at pre-symptomatic timepoints in healthy adults experimentally challenged with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Following inoculation, 57% of participants developed PCR-confirmed infection. Prior to viral challenge, 80 differentially expressed genes were identified that associated with susceptibility to symptomatic infection. At day 3, 87 differentially expressed genes were associated with protection. Thus, we showed that the nasal mucosa at the time of virus exposure and during the incubation phase correlate with susceptibiltiy and protection from respiratory viral infection.

Project description:ObjectiveLatent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is an autoimmune diabetes characterized by slowly progressive of β-cell function deterioration. Our previous finding demonstrated that neutrophil numbers and migration abilities display distinct levels in different types of diabetes, including LADA, whereas its pathological alterations in the development of LADA remain unknown. We aimed to investigate the changes in transcriptional levels of peripheral neutrophils in newly diagnosed LADA.MethodsPeripheral blood neutrophils were isolated from newly diagnosed LADA patients (n = 5) and age-and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 5). The Transcriptomic signature was determined by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Differentially expressed genes (DEG) were screened, followed by analyzing downstream Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was applied for validation in LADA patients (n = 9) and age-and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 18), including sequencing samples.ResultsCompared with controls, 4105 DEG were screened in LADA patients, including 2661 upregulated and 1444 downregulated DEG. In GO analysis, DEG are mainly involved in leukocyte degranulation, myeloid cell differentiation, and immune response-regulating signaling. The top enriched KEGG pathways included cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, adhesion molecule signaling, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling and Th17 cell differentiation. Consistent with RNA-seq results, SELL, ITGA4, ITGAM, NCF4, ARHGAP3, and CLDN15 are upregulated in neutrophils by qPCR.ConclusionThe present study results provided a profile of DEG in the newly diagnosed LADA of south China. Our study reveals an abnormality in neutrophil disposition at the transcriptional level in LADA. Several essential genes may be involved in of LADA's pathological process, which may be useful to guide prediction for LADA and further investigation into the pathogenesis for this disease.

Project description:Recent findings have challenged the prevailing histology- or imaging-based definition of the “vulnerable plaque”. To investigate molecular characteristics associated with “clinical instability” of atherosclerosis, we performed a proteomics comparison of the vascular extracellular matrix and associated molecules in human carotid endarterectomy specimens from symptomatic versus asymptomatic patients. The proteomics data were integrated with gene expression profiling and an analysis of protein secretion by lipid-loaded human vascular smooth muscle cells. The molecular signature of plaques from symptomatic patients identified by proteomics and at least one of the other two approaches comprised matrix metalloproteinase-9, chitinase-3-like protein 1, S100A8/S100A9, cathepsin B, fibronectin and galectin-3-binding protein. These biomarker candidates were measured in 685 subjects of the Bruneck Study and found to significantly predict the progression to advanced atherosclerosis (as assessed by repeated carotid ultrasound) and the incidence of cardiovascular disease over a 10-year follow-up period, highlighting the strength of tissue-based proteomics for biomarker discovery.
